Do you have a photo of this painting, Bob? I'm quite curious about it.

How do emotions factor in? I own a black and white oil painting of a
pitiful cat. It is (was at the time) a famous painting by Barb Kenny,
the daughter of one of the founders of the Ross Jurney Advertising
Agency. My mother bought the original and the artist sold thousands of
prints because it is a scary image. Mother could have sold the
painting for a large pile of cash, but she declined. The cat looked
like it did because the artist suffered severe depression. No
photograph could capture her depression if she had used a camera.
